We descended the beautiful Val d'Ortiè on 15 August 2025. We added bolts in the first part (1670m-1575m) in two places (fix and ring), particularly on the first narrow 30m wet waterfall where we didn't actually see any old bolts (there should actually be an R7+R30). However, there is now an exposed L30 (you may need to secure yourself to reach it, as there is no handrail). Further downstream, we used a tree to overcome a few metres of difficult downclimbing. In the second part (1575m-1350m), after a flat section, the gorge gradually narrows with some very beautiful sections. Here, it is generally better equipped in some places (a few double bolts, but usually single, often new). At 1350m, a clear path (R) emerges. We tried to continue (small toboggan), but we did not find any anchors at the next obstacle, and in any case, the gorge is cluttered with many stuck trees! In general, however, some anchors are single with only a plate in the flow (bring some quick links to leave behind) or supplement with anchors to be positioned better or doubled up!

Er moet zeker nog haken bij geboord worden! Mooie canyon en veel instap/uitstap mogelijkheden. Water was aanwezig, maar nooit moeilijkheden gegeven

There are definitely hooks to be drilled! Beautiful canyon and lots of entry/exit options. Water was present but never gave trouble

Sind beim oberen Einstieg rein (sehr empfehlenswert) und beim alternativen/unteren Einstieg raus. Mussten 3 Haken neu setzen. 2 Rutschen möglich. Wasser eiskalt, aber super Wasserstand nach Regenfällen! Es wären noch ein paar Haken zu setzen (vorerst über Felsköpfl möglich), eine Standplatzschlinge im oberen Teil wäre zu tauschen. Eine Besonderheit: im oberen Teil nach der Rutsche ist für den hohen Abseiler aktuell zwingend ein Felsköpfl zum Einrichten eines Seilgeländers zum Stand oro. rechts notwendig. Wasserstandsbild (oberer Einstieg) anbei.

Went in at the upper entry (highly recommended) and out at the alternative/lower entry. Had to reset 3 anchors. 2 slides possible. Water ice cold, but super water level after rainfall! There would still be a few anchors to set (possible via Felsköpfl for the time being), a belay sling in the upper part would have to be replaced. A special feature: in the upper part after the slide, a rock head is currently absolutely necessary for the high rappel to set up a rope traverse to the stand ortographic. right. Water level picture (upper entry) attached.
